You Must Register to Download LightZone

Update: Effective March, 2014, you must be a fully registered member of The LightZone Project in order to download the program. See the message above about registration. Once the registration process is fully completed and you have logged in after approval, you will see the download links for Linux, Windows, and Mac in the left sidebar. Approval is now automatic. Refresh your browser if you do not see the links. Contact us if you have further problems, but please follow the instructions in "contact". The program remains free of charge. We are requiring membership for security purposes, to better track the downloads, and to help build the community in order to attract developers and improve the knowledge base. It is fine if you do not wish to participate in the forums---no one is forcing you to---- but we would like you to participate and believe that in the long run a larger member base will be better for the project, especially in terms of attracting development support. We do not think it is too much to ask that you register in exchange for free and quite interesting software. We hope that you like it as much as we do, and will share with the community your experiences, questions, and comments.

4.1b13 opens raw as solid pink

Posting rules: It shouldn't need saying, but... play nice. Please keep your discussions civil. You can disagree, just don't be disagreeable. And, of course, all of the usual stuff like no spamming. Tex adds: I'll be rigorously enforcing this as we go along. We're probably going to be a small community in a little lifeboat, so we can't have members at each others' throats. This is for the sake of the project as a whole. So when you post, pretend you're speaking in person with your very wealthy auntie who has always treated you wonderfully and currently lists you prominently in her will. I won't be tossing anyone out of the forums because we are all in this together (except spammers: immediate membership cancelation), but I'll delete suspect posts right away.

Was just editing a batch of photo's taken last september, and am facing an issue with one RAW (Nikon D7000). Everything looks fine in the browser, but when opening the image in the editor, it shows as solid pink. All the other RAWs in the batch are fine.

Console output follows (though probably not too helpful). Can mail the RAW in question if needed.
